Bounce the dog returned to the BBC News studio on Wednesday.

BBC News

Bounce, who was referred to as a "spokesdog", first appeared on our screens back in February following the publication of a report that claimed dogs can tell the difference between happy and sad faces.

On his return to the news studio, he wasn't exactly in the mood to sit still.
